Chiefferman Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 the lvl 40 mount is soooooo lame. now i have no problem getting 220k together but for only a 10% speed increase seems wack. for 220k i need to be at least 150% or better. again i dont have a prob gettin 220k together in this game but its not like at lvl 40 i got 1 million credits.Bioware needs to change the cost of the mount or make it faster oh and other than that LOVE this ****in game!!!!

Do you need that 10% increase? If not, then it's a luxury item and it's supposed to be expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delekii Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Do you need that 10% increase? If not, then it's a luxury item and it's supposed to be expensive. All skills beyond the one you get at level one are luxury items and should cost 220k each because you can kill anything with your initial dps skill. Clearly rational.

Clearly rational. That's not true at all. Go try killing an Elite with just your level 1 attack skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddum Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Your level 50 skills are how many times better than your level 1 skills? I'd guess at least 10 times better. 10% speed increase is nowhere near important, so not even close to being NEEDED, besides it being just movement. It's a luxury item and it's expensive so people actually pass on it, making it more "rare". Kind of how epic mounts used to be in WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwaneDibbley Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I lived with 90% mount till lvl50. Only reason why i bought 100% riding is cuz its needed for 110% riding skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miothan Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I also think, that, 10% increased speed is not really worth it, i will not be using my Credits on that untill i have a few millions, the 10-20% increased speeder speed, is to me, a luxuary that is not needed, since, at 50, i do not think i will be runing aroud as much as when im lvling, i am atm lvl 45 ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraunKrynn Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I don't see the big deal...maxed crew skills, fast speeder, all at level 40. Also, not a slicer. My speeder rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharik Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 You really don't need to make up silly reasons that sound great in your head, to justify the cost of a speeder. It's simply a speeder. They are always expensive. They are a money sink. Coming up with nonsense like 'it's a luxury it's expensive' just begs for response, because you're implying that everything that is not a luxury should instead be cheap. My skills are costing me, what, 30k a pop right now? That's pretty expensive for something that's not a luxury. And how cheap are jukebox tokens at cantinas again? Pretty cheap for a luxury.

Chiefferman Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 look im not sayin "dumb down" the game **** if it'll make yall feel betta make it more expensive...jus make the damn thing faster.....300k for a 180% increase will be fine by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siniaera Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I am a level 36 BH PT, have 3 crew skills to 250 + and have 300 k credits + I don't see the problem, the only thing is I took 2 gathering skills for my futur armor tech craft (scavaging and Underworld trading) but I will respec into that at 50 for now took slicing for leveling - It really helps for money and with 4 more levels to go the credits will not be a problem.

Dwighty Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Normal mounts in wow only gave you 60% movement speed increase too... derp derp derp. You get sprint for free in this game. don't start to compare SWtoR to WoW again. Also those are Mounts, animals, in a fantasy, and this are vehicles with engines in a high-tech sci-fi world, but really theyre almost on same speed ^^ or ur basic run speed is ~ 20km/h with sprint is ~ 27km/h with fastest vehicle is ~ 44km/h^^ my granny is faster with her cane Edited December 25, 2011 by Dwighty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derkiederk Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 If you can't afford it now just wait a little while longer til you hit 50. A day's worth of lvl 50 dailies nets like 250k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnuskn Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Quite honestly, with the vast empty landscapes on some planets, having a bit faster high-level mounts would be a mercy. 150% and 200% would be kind of nice. I do have the level 40 driving skill and while you don't notice the pretty low speed as clearly in the normal outdoors, you definitely do when driving over a bridge on Voss. It looks really, really pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loukakis Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 One thing that doesnt seem to have been mentioned is that the 100% speeders also have knockoff resistance on them. I find this quite handy, instead of detouring around every single group for fear of ending up on my face in the dirt you can usually just breeze past them, take a few hits and go happily on your way.

Immoral_Atheist Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 It's quite normal (in real life too) that you have to pay much higher amounts of money for something that's only slightly better. It's worth it when you don't have anything else that's very important. You're not required to buy it on lvl 40, it just opens up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thormart Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I paid 900g for my epic mount in vanilla wow. That compares roughly to 50 million credits in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
